Environmental Renderings

Nature embraces her own time. The tides rise and subside. The seasons come and go as do the migrations. The trees know to let go of their withering leaves to make room for new growth, reminding me that there will come a season when I, too, must let go of the baggage that has burdened me for so long.

Inspired by the many lessons which I have learned from the natural world, these environmental renderings pay homage to the glorious moments when the simplicity and order of nature declares itself wiser than the complex intelligence of the world we build around us. Using materials found on site, I embellish God's sanctuary as an offering of peace and gratitude.

"Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

This piece is dedicated to my dear friend and Soul Sister Kelly, who is and always has been dedicated to the pursuit of life, and is currently determined to defeat cancer for the second time.
